Way of the Rope Lyrics
With each single breath, I pray for death
I curse my day of birth, I hate this stinking earth
I walk the path of self-destruction
Just like your worthless kind, I too was blind
But now that I'm awake, this world fills me with hate
I've cast aside all false illusions
No more a servant nor a puppet on strings
The time has come for rebellion
This burden has far too long weighed heavy on me
Release my soul through a rope and a tree
With each step of mine, I cross the line
Into where light is dark, and death is the spark
That ignites my satisfaction
Oh to enter the sweetness of oblivion
[Chorus]
Dark is the path that I wander
I curse your prophets, these proclaimers of hope
My mind is set, I am finally free
I shun this mortal coil and choose the way of the rope
On this my final day, I walk away
My body hanging cold
All hail the gallows’s pole
The rope entwined brings me salvation
I curse my day of birth, I hate this stinking earth
I walk the path of self-destruction
Just like your worthless kind, I too was blind
But now that I'm awake, this world fills me with hate
I've cast aside all false illusions
The time has come for rebellion
This burden has far too long weighed heavy on me
Release my soul through a rope and a tree
Into where light is dark, and death is the spark
That ignites my satisfaction
Dark is the path that I wander
I curse your prophets, these proclaimers of hope
My mind is set, I am finally free
I shun this mortal coil and choose the way of the rope
My body hanging cold
All hail the gallows’s pole
The rope entwined brings me salvation
